Speechless

I was thumbing through sketchbooks the other day trying to find a particular doodle to serve as the jumping off point for an illustration for Marilyn, when I ran across this wordless tableau.

This was on a heavily-scribbled page otherwise occupied by drawings of sheep knitting, ice skating, eating cookies, watching television, doing the frug, and generally engaging in unsheeplike activities.

I haven't the faintest idea what made me draw these two. I don't even know what the curly-haired figure is wearing on her (his?) head.

Jove is right. It screams Martha! She's even got the right hair!Martha: "With a glue gun and one of those knitting spools, you can do amazing things with a jail poncho!"I'd still vote for Cheryl's, Tina's, or LeeAnn's comments. The latter two made me laugh out loud!

I wanted to write you but this seems to be the only option. I just got some books that I think you'd LOVE. Someone gave them to me for Christmas.

It's a trilogy by Pamela Aidan called Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman. I tell you, I felt like I was reading Jane Austen again. It's the Pride and Predjudice story from Darcy's viewpoint. And the books are really beautiful.

A totally off topic comment: last night, at Liberty of London, with the Rowanettes, we had three men knitting simultaneously. Three. One had just learnt that night too. So, I took a picture, so we could prove that men are welcome (that was Yvonne's idea).... http://www.xanga.com/pink_hebe
